Description

If you hit your head against the Bar End Caps, you still might knock yourself out, but at least you won't need stitches.

Yakima Bar End Caps, sold in sets of 4, are a handy piece of gear to have on your Yakima rack. End Caps protect both your head and your crossbars from bumps and bruises. Crossbars do not come with end caps, so if you're building a rack, pick yourself up a set of these to cap things off.

Caps that end the bars

A few notes about the end caps from my recent rack purchase and install: -- If you buy a set of Q-towers, they include the 4 end caps, no need to buy separately. Unless... -- You don't read ahead in the rack setup instructions and put the end caps on before sliding the tower feet onto the bars. One of the caps was a tight enough fit that I destroyed it trying to get it off. Good thing I had the extras! -- Other than that, they fit fine, install easily, and work as intended.

These end caps cap the ends so well you'd think they were made for these ends. One time I ended up in the hospital, the size of a Luv Sac bean bag, after being stung by all the hornets that had made their home in my bars. That was a bad day. And these end caps end cap so much better than my leftover clay after making claymation star trek figurines. And its nice when you bang your head on them - no more core samples of my noggin.

I agree. I especially appreciate how well they cap the ends. They cap them sooooo good. Much better than potatoes or fingers or toilet paper or old shirts or parking tickets or dollar bills or dirt or candy bars. All of which I tried and none of them fit quite as well as these end caps.

Core Sample

Nothing hurts worst than taking a core sample of our head. Nothing bleeds more than a head wound. If you shelling out the dough for bars, protect your head. They look better and are cheaper than a hockey helmet, and who want to wear a hockey helmet all day?

Rust & Noise

I find it ridiculous that Yakima doesn't include these with the bars. However,they keep the bars from filling up with water & rusting, and they prevent additional wind noise if you drive with the windows open or the top off. The rack ends can scratch you, your bike, your ski P-Tex, your kayak, etc, etc, so for functionality, they are a necessity.
